This story takes place in the Silver Millennium. Don't get confused by my two separate stories in these chapters, they are both equally important and will mix soon enough. I write too many stories all at once don't I; I can't help, so many thoughts are buzzing in my head. This actually is my first fanfic, except i haven't submitted it before now. I'm not sure if i'll follow the original destruction of the Silver Millenium or if i should change the ending. Enjoy!

My life as a watcher may seem as a frivolous one. Who am I to play with the delicate strands of time, to see when fit to interfere with fate, and leave some civilizations in ruin? It has taken me a long time to hold back my tears, whilst I watch death and destruction. But it has been my duty, ever since I began training at a young age. To help ease the pain of such a lonely occupation, I have one companion, who came with me from the distant planet of Pluto. His name is Herdites and has become a close friend of mine. Together we support each other through thick and thin. Watching our dear princess from a distance makes this job worthwhile and makes my fears go to rest each night. But lately an evil shadow has been in my heart and I fear for our cherished princess. My teachers taught me to never interfere in time, as if I did use my powers to control time, my life would be taken. I can only change time when the gods command me to. All I can do now is gaze at the stars and hope my premonition does not come true.

"Princess, please do get ready. Your mother is expecting you any moment for the banquet."
"Luna, you worry too much!"
"As your advisor and nanny, I have every right to! Now please change," Luna replied exhausted. She had been making preparations for the ball all night and day.
"Fine, now go catch up with Artemis, he would really like you to be with him," Serenity answered jokingly, watching Luna start to get a red tinge on her cheeks. Luna was in her late twenties and was surprisingly beautiful. She had long curly black hair that went to her waist and two big blue eyes. However, her age didn't make her any less strict.
Serenity, a young fifteen-year-old girl, was very mysterious. She had beautiful silvery blonde hair that billowed in the wind. The most salient thing about her was her smile-it radiated warmth from a mile away and could make even the saddest of people smile back.
Her four guardians-Minako, Makoto, Rei, and Ami-were her best friends and knew her better than anyone else, except probably Luna. Ami was the intellectual one-not Serenity's strong point. She was furthermore the princess of the planet Mercury. She had luscious blue hair that swayed like the waves of the ocean. Rei, who was Serenity's best friend and the princess of Mars, had a fiery spirit, which matched her black hair that had a touch of red in it. They constantly bickered, but it was always in good fun, trying to see which would make the other madder. Minako was the princess of love and the leader of the senshi. Since her mother was the Queen of Venus, she had a "sixth-sense" about love and was quite the romantist herself. Lastly, Makoto, the princess of Jupiter. She was amazingly strong and was a very good cook too. All four of these girls had a special place in Serenity's heart.
Serenity lazily put on cream-colored gown and walked out of her room. For the past months, she was disturbed by dreams of destruction, but it seemed worse now. Even annoying Rei didn't have its usual kicks.
Some time ago, an evil force named Metallia was resurrected. Now this being was trying to take over the universe and only time could tell the outcome.
As she walked into the ballroom, she felt someone's eyes staring at her. Serenity looked to her side and saw a pair of the darkest eyes she has ever seen. Inside them energy and life were flowing and pulsating. She took one last look, and walked towards her mother Selene.
"Serenity, I'm so glad you have finally arrived. This is Lady Audrey and her husband Maximus, the rulers of Earth. Also, this is their son Endymion."
The same young man who was staring at Serenity stepped forward and introduced himself as Endymion, said it was his pleasure, kissed her hand, blah, blah, blah.
She had enough of people acting so uptight and in her opinion, unpleasant and boring. In other words, she was sick and tired of the nice guy routine. However, she still curtsied and said, "No it is MY pleasure." Just because she didn't believe in that sort of thing she didn't want to sound arrogant, and anyways, she was taught that a princess should always be polite and graceful.
"Serenity, I was hoping you could give Endymion a little tour of the palace and the grounds, while his parents and I have a little talk."
"Sure," she said in an all too sweet and fake voice. I'll take him as far as the gate and then I'll ditch him, Serenity thought.
"This way Endymion," I said and gestured toward the double doors leading to the castle's gates and the rose garden.
He followed. Soon, she started talking about the moon's history and about the famous moon lilies, which only grew on the moon. Finally, they reached the palace's gates.
"Well prince, I'm very sorry, but I have urgent matters to attend to and I can't delay it a single more second. I hope you find the castle's grounds pleasing to you," she said with a malicious smile. Even though she thought flirting was petty, that didn't mean she couldn't have a bit of fun.
"But how am I to get back to the castle, don't these grounds go on for miles?" Endymion inquired.
"Oh, you'll find your way back sooner or later." Serenity said, her smile widening.
"For someone so pretty, you have a heart of stone." Endymion said harshly.
"You don't know me prince, so don't ever act like you know me and judge me," she snarled back. She then started to walk away, until he grabbed her wrist.
"Don't walk away from me," he snapped. He started to pull her back towards him."Leave me alone." She hissed and with that she stomped off, not looking back.
